Amazon.com Product Description
The SC-HT920 home theater system from Panasonic packages a high-end, all-in-one receiver and five-disc DVD player with six powerful surround-sound speakers. Connect your TV to the SC-HT920 and you have an instant home theater with power, versatility, and high-quality audio and video.

At the heart of the SC-HT920 is a sophisticated, flexible, easy-to-customize core component for both audio and home theater. The receiver's Dolby Digital and DTS decoders provide crisp, clear sound, and Dolby Pro Logic II Surround yields richness to movies and music. The SC-HT920 has three surround modes: movie, music, and panorama. These settings can be altered to fully customize your audio experience.

Give your sound further definition with the SC-HT920's sound enhancement modes. Panasonic's Sound Field Control features six preset modes for music that can add extra punch to all kinds of musical styles. The Super Surround mode simulates multichannel audio for discs not recorded in Dolby Digital or DTS sound. Panasonic's Center Focus mode enhances the dialogue in movies and TV programs by concentrating it into the center speaker. You can adjust individual speaker levels to create a perfect sound. After all the audio settings meet your approval, you can preserve them in memory to immediately recall them the next time you watch a movie.

The SC-HT920's DVD player produces a remarkably vivid picture and lifelike sound through progressive-scan technology, which yields high-resolution visuals with eye-popping colors and a minimum of onscreen distortion when used with a digital television set. The player also offers a wide variety of viewing tools and options, including variable speed search, slow motion, freeze frame, digital zoom, and a memory function that automatically returns you to the point on the DVD that you last viewed.

In addition to playing regular DVDs, the SC-HT920 plays DVD-RAM, CD, CD-R, MP3, WMA, and JPEG discs. An AM/FM tuner is built into the unit with 30 presets for your favorite stations. The receiver supports a wide array of audio and video components--CD players, tape decks, DVD recorders, VCRs, and more--and has a variety of audio and video inputs, including composite, component, S-video, and digital connections.

The all-inclusive SC-HT920 has a full set of six speakers to create a full, realistic multichannel surround-sound experience in your home theater: two front speakers and two surround speakers with adjustable height speaker stands, a center speaker, and a subwoofer. The primary speakers utilize Panasonic's unique tall, thin design and reach 44 inches tall when the speaker stand is full extended. The front-channel speakers put out 170 watts per channel, the surround speakers have an output of 70 watts per channel, and the subwoofer kicks out 260 watts per channel.

The universal remote control included with the receiver allows you to control the other components in your home theater, as well as all six speakers in the multichannel audio array.

    2 out of 5 stars Lessons learned.......2006-10-13

    Well, we've owned this system for over a year now. I was a little disappointed in sound quality and picture quality right out of the box. After playing with the settings, I was able to get some improvement but still not completely satisfied. We still have problems with the dynamic range as volumes go from quiet to loud and vice versa. Dialogue quality still falls somewhat short.

    Now for the gripe! For the past 3 months the dvd player would go on the fritz. We would be comfy, watching a movie when all of a sudden, the dvd would stop and the player would turn off an on. The behaviour is sporadic and may happen right off the bat or after watching a movie and moving on to special dvd features. Must be a short circuit somewhere. Annoying as heck!

    I'm not going to bother with repairing the thing. I'm moving on to bigger and better things.

    Hope this helps!

    5 out of 5 stars Nice sound.......2006-07-14

    I have owned this product for over a year now, and use it on a regular basis. I like the sound, and had no problems with the DVD player. As a matter of fact, the floor where this unit is kept was flooded with about three inches of water. The subwoofer was sitting directly on the floor, in the water, and nothing happened to it. Luckily, the DVD player was a fraction of an inch above the water line. Nice product for the money. You can vibrate an average size house when you turn the volume up.

    1 out of 5 stars Poor design........2006-03-26

    After a little over a year of use a circuit board, on this HT-920 home theater system, developed a small crack resulting in intermittent sound. This was the diagnosis of one of their certified repair centers. This system sat in the same place the whole time and was not moved. The repair center communicated it was a know issue with the poor design, with the external speaker connector being part of the board. This was not in warranty period and the replacement part is no longer available. The repair center thought Panasonic would replace subwoofer at no charge as they said Panasonic is aware of the issue and the new sub design has changed as a result. Did not happen. This is the second instance in the last 5 years where I've had an issue with a Panasonic home theater system and a know design issue. The other was with the HT-900 where a Panasonic engineer admitted the defect and they did replace that system.

    I also own a Boston acoustics (9 years) and Aiwa (15 years) with no issues. To Panasonic's credit I am very please with the 7 year old TV I own. I will not buy another home theater sound system from them and will think twice about purchasing other Panasonic products. This is unfortunate as I'm in the market for 2 LCD or Plasma 42" TVs and I've read allot of good thing about their plasma and LCD TVs.

    3 out of 5 stars Panasonic SC-HT930.......2006-01-19

    I bought a Panasonic SC-HT930 home theater system online from Dell. I thought the sound quality was great. But within about three weeks it jammed up. There were two CDs inside and the drawer would not open. Every time I turned it on it immediately gave an error code and turned itself off. I called Dell and they refused to help saying it had been more than twenty-one days from invoice. When I called Panasonic they referred me to an authorized service center in my area. I called after one week and was told the optical pickup needed to be replaced and that it was on order and would be in the following week. I called again after one more week and was told the part is on backorder with Panasonic and won't be in for at least one more week. I feel I made a huge mistake ordering from Dell since they won't stand behind products they sell that don't have the Dell name on them. I will also think twice about buying Panasonic products in the future.
